URDF Rviz Unit 2 - don' t show the RedBox

Hi @KTBE ,

Glad to know that you got something there!

So, you get a white RobotModel when the Fixed Frame value is incorrect.

To fix this:

Method 1: (Easy Method)
Click next to Fixed Frame where you see the words “map”. A cursor should start blinking. Now you can either delete the word “map” and type in “link_chassis” (without quotes). You can also find a dropdown button at the right end of the textbox where “map” is. Click on the arrow mark to show the dropdown menu and you can select “link_chassis” from there.

Method 2: (Long Method for a beginner!)
Save your current Rviz configuration as a <config_name>.rviz file in your package folder.
Now open this file in your IDE. You should find the lines like shown below:

  Global Options:
    Background Color: 48; 48; 48
    Fixed Frame: map
    Frame Rate: 30

Locate the Fixed Frame: map line and change map to link_chassis and save the file.
Close the Rviz and relaunch Rviz. Once Rviz is launched, load the configuration file on RViz.

One of the method should solve your problem.
